I've been a fan of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books for years but my favourite editions are always the ones that come out for the Christmas season. There is just something special about sipping a hot chocolate by the fire place or lights of the Christmas tree reading heartfelt stories about the holidays! The newest release just in time for the Christmas 2012 is The Gift of Christmas, I've been enjoying it here at home and hope you'll love the stories as much as I do!

Scholastic Holiday Books!
My boys get a few new books every year for Christmas, we love reading together before bed and nap times and it's even more special during the holidays.

Skechers Light Up the Holidays!
My youngest child has stinky feet. Okay not really, it's his shoes that smell awful, that happens I guess when you have two older brothers and they pass you down everything from hats to shoes.
